A Story That Started With a Surprise

Imagine learning two life-changing things in one week: a breast cancer diagnosis… and that you’re expecting. That’s exactly where Gwen’s story begins. Faced with more than her fair share of uncertainty, she made a choice rooted in love and resilience: to protect her baby—and ultimately, to protect all babies—with clothing that’s safe, sustainable, and unapologetically kind.

Organic Values Born From Real-Life Change

Gwen’s awakening didn’t stop with clean eating or organic living—it extended to asking tough questions about what touches our babies’ skin. Conventional cotton might feel soft, but it often hides harsh pesticides and chemical-laden processing. Simply Chickie was born from the desire to replace that soft danger with something pure—and joyful.

Real Talk for Real Families

You don’t need a celebrity budget or trend-factor. Gwen describes Simply Chickie’s customers as the aunts, sisters, grandmothers—with style, substance, and sincerity—who want to show love with a gift that feels thoughtful and made with care.

From Markets to Magazine Covers

Starting at local markets, expanding into major trade shows, and now being recognized by Entreprenista—this journey is a testament to Gwen’s resilience and vision. She’s navigated trade-show sales, email lists, online shifts, and even pandemic pivots with honesty and persistence.

What This Means for Simply Chickie Shoppers

  • Ethically Made, Inside and Out: Each Simply Chickie product is GOTS-certified, made in the USA, and crafted to hold up to snuggles—and scrutiny.
  • Real Roots, Genuine Purpose: Behind every romper, bib, and gift set is a founder driven by personal transformation and maternal devotion.
  • Sustainability That’s Simple & Stylish: You’re not just buying baby clothes; you’re supporting a brand that values people and the planet.

So next time you shop or don a cute slogan romper (we see you with “Inside Me I’ve Got: World Peace…”), know that you’re wearing a story that’s gentle, tough, and full of heart.
